Sorry. They are a little blurry.

Pactra Racing Red painted on outside. Spectrum 2.0 radio and Rx.

the truck looks really good, but why did you paint the outside?
is it a crawler/scaler thing to show battle scares?

One purpose of a scale rig is to replicate the 1:1 version. Real trucks get battle scars, why would you not want to replicate that....its suppose to be scale

Exactly. Actually I painted the interior of the shell as well. I painted a light coat each of orange and red and then backed it with black. I creates somewhat of a rust look. When the red on the outside scratches, the "rust" shows through.
